Track Insight / Lyrics
You pull the brush through worn hide seams
Quercus robur drinks the steam
Fog climbs rails on silent feet
Solanum nods in dusty heat
Sole meets soil in lamp glow
Leather breathes where wild things grow
Stitch by stitch the night unwinds
Roots and thread in twin designs
Sole meets soil in lamp glow
You trace the crack with linseed oil
Taxus baccata guards the toil
Iron wheels scream past the shed
Moss drinks deep where oil has bled
Sole meets soil in lamp glow
Leather breathes where wild things grow
Stitch by stitch the night unwinds
Roots and thread in twin designs
Sole meets soil in lamp glow
You watch the grain split, pale and thin
Like rhizomes pushing through the skin
Each pass of cloth a quiet prayer
For patience grown in loam and air
No harvest comes without the wait
No boot survives the jagged slate
You tend the hide, you tend the bed
Same hands that stitch, same hands that spread
Dawn paints rust on signal lights
Betula pendula greets the heights
You set the last boot on the shelf
Finished work, finished by yourself
Sole meets soil in lamp glow
Leather breathes where wild things grow
Stitch by stitch the night unwinds
Roots and thread in twin designs
Sole meets soil in lamp glow
Next pair waits in shadowed rack
Pinus sylvestris guards your back
Fog returns with evening train
You lift the brush, you start again
Sole meets soil in lamp glow
Leather breathes where wild things grow
Stitch by stitch the night unwinds
Roots and thread in twin designs
Sole meets soil, sole meets soil
Sole meets soil in lamp glow
Brush rests down, the leather knows
Roots remember what hands forget
